Amidst the sea of shadows
  terror runs as hope amok
By the fire that God designed to life
  lend the legends of dark and light

Breath to the EarthEmbryo potential
  should you cease your ceaseless struggle
encasing defined fear and faiths unwavering duel
  lent onward temptations song ceaseless path choose

hold fast midst waves spouting mist reeling never
  only slamming hull to water grasping sails or oars
a small thing in this battle of heart mind more yet war end mind fight no more rise only on tideswell

Original title no Vctory- see Sadelite's insight below.


"High on the Mountain, where the Sun stil Shines, and the water runs a little lazy."

and beetle's larvae quivers
in shaking hull of center stage
splendid will its colors be
once it may self-engage
   comment, please, upon the fact
      that life is surely short
         still the beetle wings to life
            with nary a thought to abort.

Incredibly deep water here.  I like how you didn't quite spell victory in the title.  The victory sounds incomplete.  Misspelling can be an incredible tool I feel, another clue.  (Incidently, people here probably don't think I can spell satellite, my user name.  I teach spelling to my children, but find misspelling can be cleverly enlightening in poetry.
     As always, your work intrigues me, as do Sunshine's perceptive poetic replies.  Thank you for posting.  I sense sadness.  I hope you are well.

Would we know darkness save for life
herald beginnings without knowledge
our own EarthPlain existence is ending
dichotomy human be thy name 'midst

solipsism, love, hope, cruelty and all
that man has wrought creation striving
against destruction we humans fall to dark
reach to light you caught a clue for there

never was nor will be internal victory
marked by peace to love to give without
the Honest I so sadly clearly lacking in
society where people unbecome self striving

to fit in with the crowd and simultaneously
declare their individuality black garbed artists coffee house homes instead of canvas time writer eloquence lacking typing time

self called musicians choosing guitars for their color not sound lacking scale and chord
understanding thinking music consists only of
"blazing guitar solos" all lost in symbolism

somehow seeking celebrity each has forgotten
the simple defintitions writers= people who write, artists draw sculpt paint, musicians play and play more there is no I for victory

In a solid black wardrobe
I wonder what such see
when the mirror smiles back
no doubt the IMAGE of... there is no I there
hence no victory of self where all begins

I wondered if everyone would just think that a typo
Think I will see if I can change it, as it seems to have flown by. Not an easy poem anyway.
But thanks for finding yet another key.

For Sunshine
The Beetle questions not but accepting
its mandibles segmented structure
role to life as surely many roll through life

Religious priests of science would call
such activities instinct and seperate
we sentient humans from all species
though all claim their pets "Love Them"

rare stated conundrum the religion of science ignores but the sound of the words
invokes the struggle within to lean towards
light or fall to dark within a battleground too often unceasing lacking the breath of a true HeartSong

"High on the Mountain, where the Sun stil Shines, and the water runs a little lazy."
